Mid Summer Memories We are well into summer here in Alabama. Like it or not we have the heat, the kids are out of school and everyone is trying to take a vacation. For some it’s busier, for others its a little slower pace, but the one thing doesn’t change and that is the memories that each day brings. Everyday when we wake up we have some options. We can choose to have an attitude of gratitude, or several other different options. If you open your eyes, and take a breath, that should be enough to be grateful. Ask yourself the following self- reflecting question, or better yet ask God, after all he is the one who gave you another day. The question goes something like this, “Hey God, what would you have me do for you today?” Then maybe follow with “I pray you give me opportunities today to be a blessing to someone and be your hands and feet here on earth.” At the end of the day when we reflect back, will we have fond memories of time spent with our kids in patience and reflecting Him to them? Do the people we come in contact with, feel a sense of closeness to God (even if they don’t know Him) because you represented Him so well? Everyday is an opportunity to love God for all He has done, as well as to do all things with the full intent of pointing to Him, and giving Him the full credit and glory He so deserves. I love the new living translation to Colossians 3:17 that says “And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.” So here’s our charging orders: let’s be grateful and approach our day with gratitude and purpose. Let’s make some great memories this summer and in seasons beyond. Lynn's Ledger Devotional By Denise Lynn

The credits earned through Dual Enrollment courses are transferrable to universities in the state, and these classes allow high school students to become more prepared for college- level courses.

Completing the FAFSA is a must-do for students wishing to receive financial aid. “The first thing students must do is complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid),” said NACC Director of Financial Aid Kip Williamson. “Using the information required by the FAFSA application, our Financial Aid office here at NACC may be able to make further adjustments in assisting student with college expenses.”
